Quotes of Italian authorities on the Ananda arrests:

 

By Nicola Miriano (attorney)

"Their conduct was extremely dangerous for society. No weapons were used, but they misused their power

to psychologically coerce vulnerable persons to release their money to the community."

By Vanna Ugolini - journalist -

La Nazione (newspaper)

"From deposition --some people with cancer had been promised to be cured, but this has not happened,"

"Some parents have donated 20.000 Euro to receive prayers"

Major Luca Albertario - Officer of GICO, Italian Treasury Police - stated:

"With this investigation we wouldn't stop the community activities but can stop that dangerous behavior reported by

many plaintiffs"
